I have been trying to install a 3270 (SDLC) comm manager workstation.
The same PC has previously been used as an IRMA MS-DOS workstation.
OS/2 2.0 (the earliest GA version) is installed. ES 1.0 (again the
earliest GA version) installs, but when started with the automatic
start 3270 option, fails when it attempts to execute the SLDC vdd
(the error is something about not being able to execute the driver)
in CONFIG.SYS. ES is installed as only comm manager SDLC support.
We have tried installing in various ways over two days.

The configuration is:

ISA 386/40 computer
IDE harddrive <-----------> v32 external modem <--------> Telephone
IBM SLDC board

The error is that the driver is invalid. We are not sure even how to
research this problem. The only idea we have come up with is that there
may be an interrupt conflict (the SDLC board used the default COM1:
interrupt).

I would appreciate any insight you would have. This seems too
common a scenario not to have been tested.

	Thanks,
			Aaron
